The 401B is part of the Cessna 401 series, a twin-piston, turbocharged, low-wing corporate transport aircraft. Produced by Cessna between 1970 and 1972, the 401B offered accommodations for up to nine passengers and one pilot, featuring retractable landing gear and constant speed, fully feathering propellers. This model succeeded the 401A with minor updates before being replaced by the 402B.
